INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.

Selecting n Family Horse.


Among the good points to be noticed
in the selection of the family horse,
docilty and gentleness must be kept
well in front. IL the women and child
rem are TO share in the use and care of
the horse. nothing vicious should be
tolerated. If sound and previously
we'll cared for, horse eight, ten, or
ever twelve years old. may be bought
with no fear of disability on account of
old age. Mr.. John Russell. who re-
Gently delivered a series of lectures in
Boston, on the care of the horse. said
that "old wine, old friends, and old
horse" sand by that meaning those
from eight to fourteen-"s should always
be preferred to young ones" The
horse does not como 10 maturity as
early as some think. as the record of
the trotting horse of America shows.
A horse ten years old, that has no de-
feet of body or limb, Is practically safe
from the ordinary horse diseases. So
far as outward appearance, color, etc,
are concerned, no general directions
can be given. but If the buyer is mex
perienced, il is better to 60 10 some re-

The Secret OF Success.

The secret of getting the most out OF
men, of getting out of them more than
their wages. of securing service
which is never paid for, because it
cannot be estimated in wages. is to
make them the sharers of the enthusi-
asm which you feel yourself. and make
them feel not only that they are well
paid for their services, but that they
are thoroughly appreciated for their
best work. II you touch man always
on his best side. sooner or later you
make this best side the equivalent of the
whole man, and then it is compare
lively easy to keep him at his best.
This is the secret of the success of in
dvidual man in great enterprises.
They have not only thought large them
selves, but have made other men wi Sc
co-operators with them. and used their
joint labors in reaching single result

Best Time for Harvesting Crops.

In harvesting, important principles
are involved. While we allow root
crops to grow as long as they can. and
harvest them before frost damages them.
grains, wheat, barley, oats. etc, need
to be cut before perfectly ripe, If we
would secure the largest amount of
starch in the kernel. which improves
the quality of the -four the value of
mailing, etc, while at the same time,
the straw is better for feeding. Indian
corn is very sensitive to frost. Sorgh-
um should be cut when tho grain is
fully ripe to secure also the largest
quantity of sugar in the stalk.
Grass when cut before it is in bios
som is innutritious, and dries out
greatly in making hay. When cut in
full blossom. or when just out of bios
som. it is in full flavor, in its highest
degree of nutritious value, and losses
far less in drying. When cut after the
seed has formed, much of the foliage
will have turned brown and dried, the
stems will be woody, and, though il
dries with comparatively little loss of
weight, yet it is far less relished by
cattle, and is less nutritious, while in
very few grasses does the seed make
good the damage to the rest of the
plsnt The same general principles APP
ply TO clover and other forage crops.
Thus corn for ensiloing or for drying
for coarse fodder should be cut up
after the ears are well formed. and be-
fore they are fully ripe, for then the
stalk is richer in sugar. has more foli-
age, and less woody fiber.

How to Have n Healthy stable.

How TO save Garden Seeds.

Peas and beans should be left on the
vines until the pods are well wrinkled,
when they should be picked and spread
until they are quite dry. Small guam
titles may be shelled by hand, large
crops are threshed with fail. Keep
them in dry place.
Melon, cucumber, squash and pump
kin seeds should be taken only from
ripe, perfect-shaped specimens. In a
small way the seeds may be taken out,
spread on plates or tins, and dried.
Larger quantities have to be washed
before drying, to remove the slim e
that sdheres to them. When the seeds
are Thoroughly dried tie them in bags,
and keep in a dry place secure from
mice and rats.
Beets, parsnips, turnips, carrots, on
ions, caulihower and cabbage will not
produce seed until the second year.
Set out in early May, strong, well-ma-
tured plants of last seasons crop.
When the seed is ripe, cut the stalks
and put under cover to dry; then beat
out the seeds. and tie in paper bags.
Seeds of all kinds should be fully ripe
when gathered, but it is ais o important
to harvest them as soon as they are
ripe. For keeping small quantities of
seeds, paper bags are preferable to
cloth. as they afford better protection
q gainst moisture and insects Always
mark each package with the name of
the seed contained in it, and the year
in which it grew Cold does not injure
the vitalty OF seeds. but moisture is
detrimental TO all kinds.

How TO successfully Harvest Roots.
When the roots are fully grown, a
man, with a sharp. heavy hoe, goes
along one row and slips off at stroke
the leaves from the roots on his right
hand. 1t is easier 10 do this when the
man walks backward. At the end of the
row he turnes and retraces his steps in
the same row. thus gathering the tops of
two rows in one. Another man fol-
lows and with = digg ne fork turns the
roots out into the empty pace on
his left or right hand as the case may
be, gathering two rows of roots into
one space There are thus alternate
rows of roots and tops. Ii is most con-
venent for the roots 10 be thrown in
heaps between the rows, leaving spa
| ces wide enough for the passage of a
horse and cart, in which they are lifted
with broad, blunt fork, with tines
bent somewhat, to hold the roots.
The tops are gathered and put in
heaps in a convenient place, covered
with straw, and then with a little earth,
in which manner they may be kept
fresh for several weeks, and will af-
ford excellent fodder. The roots are
put up in conicsl heaps in trenches two
feet deep and four feet wide; covered
with straw and then with earth; thus
keeping in perfect condition until June
of the next year. Care is to be taken
to avoid heating, BY putting ventilators
in the top of the heaps to afford an es-
cape for the heated and damp air,
which gathers in the pits from the
sweating of the roots; use round drain
tiles or bundles of straight straw.
Carrots and psrsnips are more diff
cult to grow than beets and mangels;
but with care they will yield heavy
crop of most valuable fodder for winter
feeding. OF mangels, the best kind
are the long red and the yellow globe:
of sugar beets, Lanes improved; of
carrots, the large orange-the Belgi an
and Altringham are most suitable for
field culture; of parsnips there is but
one kind. Parsnips may be left in the
ground all the winter with safety

Plow Early for Wheat.

If stubble ground is to be put to fall
wheat, the pillow can not be started too
early. If the shocks are taken off the
ground as soon as the grain has cured
enough for the NOW or stack, and the
ground is broken at once, the most
growing has been taken. The condi-
ton of the seed-bed is of more i'm
portance in the growing of small grains
than of cultivated crops, because the
condition of the ground favorable to
the yielding of plant food is impos-
sible after the grain is sown. OF the
small grains. fall wheat most demands
a well-prepared seed-bed; for oats do
not have to pass through our trying
winters, while fall rye is more hardy.
The seed bed most favorable TO fall
wheat is broken moderately deep
but not deeper than the harrow and
roller will have effect; thoroughly fined,
and as thoroughly compacted. Early
blowing makes it possible for us to

least expenditure. The weather is dry
and hot after harvest. and rapidly
dries and ha.dens the ground; if we
delay blowing the labor is severer, and
the ground breaks into hard Jumps, diff
cult to reduce. Though we use the
harrow and roller persistently, we do
not Get the seed-bed IN prime condition.
The Jumps are not crumbled or pulver-
lied, but are divided only. At the end OF
our labor we have only small clodS, but
clods nevertheless The air therefore
penetrates the soil, and finishes the dry
ing hardening process. The light show.
ers that fall are soon dissipated. The
clods can not be compacted. Hence
the wheat when sown is slow to ger
inmate; the plants find only scanty
supply of food and their roots have
not solid supports to cling to during
the winter.
